LUXURY fashion accessories manufacturer Swarovski has turned to nature and blended some Taoist principles such as harmony into its new season range of necklaces, bangles and earrings as it targets the booming China market. Michelle Zhang is dazzled by the creativity. The upcoming autumn/winter will be a big season for accessories because they are the best investment during the recession, says Nathalie Colin, creative director of Swarovski. "When people have less money to spend on clothes, they will definitely invest in accessories, which help them easily develop new looks, even if they wear the same outfit," she says. "That's why many brands have come up with more accessories for the next season." Colin was in Taipei last week to attend the Austrian crystal manufacturer's China launch of its autumn/winter 2009 collection. The gala event was held at Chiang Kai-shek's former Shihlin Residence in Taipei. It is the first time the venue, in mountainous surrou...
